"He went to Paris, looking for answers, to questions that bothered him so."

For the Fall 2005 semester I had the pleasure of teaching at
Georgia Tech Lorraine,
GT's campus in
Metz, France.
My research interests include:
real-time network management techniques,
network visualization,
and the design of future protocols for wireless/mobile networks.
A major initiative right now is with the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)
and the IMS
Student Research Competition.
I'm currently working in a joint appointment with
the College of Computing and the Office of Information Technology
Academic and Research Technologies Group
(OIT-ART).
This work includes a focus on network management
in the GT Research Network Operations Center
(GT-RNOC).
I teach and generally mess about in the area of
Networking and Systems.
Through the year 2000, I was a Senior Scientist with
Empire Technologies
before and during the assimilation by
Concord Communications.
I was an Assistant Professor of Computer Science
at the University of Dayton
from 1995 to 1997.
From 1990 to 1995 I was a graduate student at the
College of Computing of
Georgia Institute of Technology .
My doctoral dissertation is entitled:
"Solutions For Ubiquitous Information Services: Multiple Protocols
and Scalable Servers".
My dissertation advisor is
Prof. Mostafa Ammar.
Before graduate school, I worked as a Software Engineer for
Data General Corporation.
DG was recently assimilated into the EMC
collective.
I greatly enjoy spending time with my wife and three growing kids.
In my "spare" time I work on projects around the house,
and, to quote a famous bumper sticker,
"I'd rather be sailing".
